Australia's Ploughshare have returned with a new recording which shows the music going for an apocalyptic and dissonant mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2024 album "Second Wound" which will be released in November as a joint effort between I, Voidhanger and Brilliant Emperor Records.
A very dark, heavy and dissonant sound starts off the album while the riffs also add in a lot of melody. Vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a decent amount of blast beats and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to a dissonant style while the fast riffs also add in a lot of tremolo picking which also gives the music more of a raw feeling. All of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, one song also introduces synths onto the album and as the recording progresses the recording also gets more experimental.
On this recording Ploughshare takes a dissonant form of black metal and mixes it with death metal to create something very different from previous releases. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are inspired by Julian Of Norwich's "Revelations Of Divine Love".
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Ploughshare and if you are a fan of dissonant black and death metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "The Fall Of All Creatures" and "The Mockery of the Demons". 8 out of 10.
